My wife is Wu Zetian

Chapter 15 Malaria
Seeing that Li Zhi agreed to pay, Li Yanran was also taken aback.
She still has a lot of useless rhetoric, and the pyramid schemes seen by future generations have not yet been used.
Is this a compromise?
Could it be that people from the Tang Dynasty are so easy to deceive?

"Brother, don't ask me how the perfume is made, how am I going to sell it next? Just agree?"

Li Yanran looked at Li Zhi, Bai Guan said more or less, said less,
Give yourself a nine-year-old child so easily?
Don't know if he is stupid?

There is still too much money and no place to spend it.

"Brother doesn't need to know this, I give the money to my younger brother."

Li Zhi smiled slightly and patted Li Yanran's head.

Don't say that Li Yanran's hair is really shiny, and it's very easy to touch.

"Brother, I'm not a child, don't touch my head."

Seeing Li Zhi's actions, Li Yanran's small face instantly pouted.

It's true that she is a child, but that's just in front of my mother,
If you do this, how can I call you brother and brother in the future.

Li Zhi just nodded, but kept stroking Li Yanran's hair with his hands.

Li Yanran now only feels like the cat she raised in her previous life, and Li Zhi will be the shit shoveler now,

It's such a shame.

If it wasn't that he couldn't beat him by himself, Li Zhi might have to taste the beating from the society.

Just as Li Zhi was enjoying the pleasure of stroking the cat, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a guard came up to him and whispered something in his ear.

"Well, I'll leave first if I have something to do. You leave an address and the money will be delivered naturally."

After the guards left, Li Zhi also left a word and left.

"Young master, do you need me to send someone to check the identity of this little brother?"

Li Zhi got into the carriage that had already been prepared, and the driver was Ryan.

"No, I'll wait for him to tell me, let's go."

"Yes."

"Walk."

Li Yanran asked someone to write down the address and left it for the waiting guards. She also left the restaurant and rode her little donkey towards Li's house.

"Welcome Miss back home."

After entering the house, ten women, led by Nanny Zhang, saluted Li Yanran together.

"This"

Seeing the woman who finished grooming, Li Yanran was also taken aback.

Although her house is big, there are not many servants in the family, and she has never experienced such a battle at all.

"Okay, Madam Zhang, go down first, I have something to ask them."

Li Yanran waved her hand at Madam Zhang, and the other party walked away tactfully.

"What's your name?" Li Yanran looked at the oldest woman and asked.

"My servant's real name is Zhou Qing. If Miss doesn't like it, please give me the maid's name."

Zhou Qing slightly bowed to Li Yanran, since a servant who sells himself as a slave is no longer entitled to have his own name, everything depends on the master's decision.

"If there is anything to give, you can still call yourself by your original name. Seeing that you are also a well-educated person, why did you fall into the situation of selling yourself as a slave?"

Li Yanran shook her head, she has no interest in giving others a maiden name, her own name was given by her parents, and she is not the other's wife, so she has no right to point fingers.

"Miss Hui, the slaves are from Shaozhou in the south of the Ling River, and their family is considered wealthy, but Shaozhou suffered a sudden epidemic and the people were displaced.
The parents and brothers of the servants' families were also enslaved on the way to escape. In desperation, they had no choice but to sell themselves as slaves for food and clothing. "

Talking about her background, Zhou Qing's eyes turned red. Although her family was not considered wealthy in the past, it was also considered a small fortune. Her father taught her to read and write, and loved her very much. She never expected to be reduced to this kind of situation. situation.

"Great epidemic? Specifically, what kind of epidemic is it?"

A gleam flashed in Li Yanran's eyes, sure enough, there was something going on here.

There is a great epidemic in the empire, if my father can make some contributions, will my family be able to have more protection when the eldest grandson Wuji is punished?

"I don't know what's going on. I only know that people infected with the epidemic are weak all over, and then they will have fever, headache, followed by vomiting, fainting, swollen limbs, and finally died."

"Isn't this malaria?"

Hearing this symptom, Li Yanran was also taken aback, what the other party said was exactly the same as malaria in later generations.

But can malaria really kill people?

This can also be called a major epidemic, which is really beyond my imagination.

"Malaria? Some doctors say that this is called miasma poison entering the body. Once it penetrates into the bone marrow, there is no cure. Does the lady know the art of Qihuang?"

Zhou Qing stared at Li Yanran who looked surprised. Could it be that his young lady is so powerful that she can't even be good at medicine?

"A little bit, a little bit."

Li Yanran can now be sure that the malaria recorded in ancient times seems to be called miasma, and miasma poison is an infectious disease caused by mosquito bites.

There are many ways to treat malaria, but they can only treat mild patients, and there seems to be no particularly effective method for those who are really serious. It was not until Goddess Tu discovered artemisinin that people had a real understanding of malaria. Specific drugs.

Although she cannot extract artemisinin without modern technology, she knows that artemisinin can treat malaria.
If the epidemic in Lingnan Road is really serious, then the hope of saving my family's life will be greatly increased.

After thinking for a while, Li Yanran asked Zhou Qingfa again: "Didn't the local government notify the court to rescue the epidemic?"

"The imperial court? The governor of Shaozhou abandoned the state as early as the outbreak of the epidemic and fled. Shaozhou Biejia did not run away, but he contracted the epidemic within a few days, that is, malaria, and unfortunately died. The remaining officials also died. , run away, who has the time to play the court."

"Okay, let's all go down and rest."

Seeing that Zhou Qing was about to cry again, Li Yanran couldn't help feeling a headache, so she comforted them and let them go down to rest.

"Old Li."

Li Yanran looked at Li Feng on the side, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Miss?"

Li Feng looked puzzled.

"This Zhou Qing looks pretty good, and he speaks and behaves well. Do you want a wife?"

Li Feng looked at the demonic Li Yanran and felt bad.

Isn't this party over?Why do you still come out like this.

"No."

Li Feng took out three dry plums from his pocket and put them in the other party's hands, then left and went back to his room.

"Malaria, it's just mediocre, let's see how this girl handles you."

Grabbing the plum in her hand, she bit off half of it in one bite, and the rich juice instantly filled her mouth.

"It's really sweet."

After finishing speaking, Li Yanran came to the backyard again, sat on the swing and began to sort out the things she had to do now.

First of all, the epidemic is very important, but if you are weak, you still have to borrow the strength of your father and mother to act, or get an amulet for your father. After all, curing the epidemic is a great merit.

Second, you have to confirm what the name of Artemisia annua is now, and stock up in advance.

The third is to purchase some tools, and the production of perfume must be carried out at the same time. After all, there are more than ten beautiful ladies who need to be pampered by her.

Alas, who made my life miserable, I was under pressure that I shouldn't have at such a young age.
